The design brief called for a Next Generation luxury yacht finessed to deliver across all criteria and remain cutting-edge well into the future. For this reason, Elfje has been called a ‘NextGEN’ ketch to highlight her owner’s focus on maximising innovation, sustainability and energy efficiency.
Usage was a key component of the project planning to identify important ‘must have’ attributes, as well as possible constraints, to Elfje’s detailed specification. In broad terms, the owner wanted a beautiful sailing yacht to go anywhere in the world, from tropical cruising grounds to the higher latitudes as far afield as Antarctica and the Arctic.
From the start there was a strong emphasis on performance. Not just for the enjoyment of swift passage making, but also because the owner also intended to race Elfje.
